Protection

AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Metal Protector (AMH) has been reformulated to provide improved performance as a corrosion inhibitor.

MPHD is an easy-to-use, spray-on product that effectively protects metal surfaces that are exposed to the damaging effects of salt, moisture or chemical corrosion. It is ideal for steel, iron, aluminum, brass, copper and other metal surfaces exposed to water, dirt or road salt.

• Protects metal from the effects of water, salt and humidity
• Excellent long-term protection against corrosion
• Displaces water and prolongs equipment life
• Leaves a dry, long-lasting, wax-like film
• Resists dirt
• Sprays into hard-to-reach places

Quick-Drying, Long-Lasting Formula

The new Heavy-Duty Metal Protector formula provides a dry time of two hours, and a total cure is reached at 12 hours. Depending on the application, how it’s used and the operating environment, protection can last up to several years.

What About Lubrication?

MPHD still provides some lubricating properties, but its primary focus is corrosion protection. We know many customers use MPHD as a chain lube. We recommend converting to AMSOIL Chain Lube.

Applications

Automotive and trailer undercoat, spare tire carriers, battery terminals, tailgate hinges, handheld tools, snow plows, mower decks and blades, snowblowers, skid-steer attachments, farm machinery, fork lifts, metal gates/fences and much more.

Price Adjustment

With the improved performance of the formula, pricing has increased. Even with the price adjustment, both wholesale and suggested retail prices are very competitive in the corrosion inhibitor market.

We tested MPHD’s corrosion-prevention properties on both aluminum and steel. The three aluminum pieces in the upper left were treated with MPHD on their lower halves, while the three aluminum pieces in the upper right were untreated. The three steel pieces in the lower left were treated with MPHD on their lower halves, while the three steel pieces in the lower right were untreated. Following treatment, the pieces were placed in a 5 percent saltwater bath for one hour, removed and allowed to dry for 23 hours. This process was repeated for two weeks. As seen in the pictures, the portions treated with MPHD show no signs of corrosion.

Metal treated with MP HD remained corrosion free

AMSOIL Firearm Cleaner and Lubricant

Protection and Dependability for Generations

New AMSOIL firearm products provide outstanding benefits for gun owners.

Nearly one in three Americans owns a firearm, typically falling into at least one of three categories. Hunters typically own shotguns to hunt waterfowl or upland birds and/or rifles to hunt larger game. Target/Sport Shooters own all types of firearms (shotguns, rifles, handguns) for recreational shooting. Firearms Professionals (gunsmiths, firearm safety instructors) work with all types of firearms in their professions.

The moving parts on firearms (actions, bolts, hinges) must be cleaned and lubricated to ensure top performance and long life. Hunters and shooters need their guns to perform when called upon, sometimes after an extended period of storage, after sitting for hours in a wet duck blind or while on a remote hunting trip with few opportunities to clean their gun daily.

Since nothing will ruin a hunting trip or day at the range quicker than a malfunctioning firearm, we tested AMSOIL firearm products in a variety of handguns and long guns. The information we gathered, along with extensive testing in our chemical lab, resulted in products dialed in for outstanding firearm protection in the most demanding conditions. As seen in the image, AMSOIL Synthetic Firearm Lubricant and Protectant guards against damaging corrosion better than a leading competitor’s product, helping keep firearms working properly for generations.

New Diesel API Specifications for 2017

Changes in the Diesel Market

Diesel engine technology must deliver reduced emissions and improved fuel economy without sacrificing power.

Federal regulations are dictating that medium- and heavy-duty diesel vehicles must reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions 15 percent by model year 2018, driving major changes in the diesel world. The API CJ-4 specification that has represented the standard for diesel oil performance for the past decade will soon give way to new specifications that will evolve with diesel technology to help ensure manufacturers meet federal mandates.

Two Specifications Replace CJ-4

Initially labeled Proposed Category 11 (PC-11) in its working stages, the new API specification has been split in two (API CK-4, FA-4) to accommodate the different requirements of older and newer engines. Both specs focus on drastically reducing emissions and improving fuel economy, while providing increased engine-protection benefits through improvements in oxidation stability, shear stability and resistance to aeration. Engine oils meeting the new specs will begin launching Dec. 1, 2016.

What are the Differences Between API CK-4 and API FA-4?

API CK-4

Designed for current model-year and older diesel engines, API CK-4 oils will offer greater protection and performance benefits over API CJ-4 oils. CK-4 oils will be backward-compatible with CJ-4 oils and will be recommended in all applications specifying CJ-4 (and prior) specifications. In addition to the traditional 15W-40 viscosity grade, CK-4 will offer lower-viscosity options to enhance fuel economy benefits, including 10W-30, 5W-40 and 5W-30.

• Designed for current model-year and older diesel engines

• Backward-compatible with API CJ-4 (and prior) oils

• Offers traditional viscosity grades of 15W-40, 10W-30, 5W-40 and 5W-30

API FA-4

Introduced for 2017 and newer diesel engines designed to meet new emissions standards, API FA-4 is a new category of lower-viscosity oils. It was created to further improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, while delivering the same enhanced protection and performance benefits of CK-4.

API FA-4 oils will be formulated to further improve fuel economy in two ways: lower viscosity and reduced high-temperature/high-shear viscosity (HTHS). While the diesel lubricant market has traditionally been dominated by 15W-40 oils, FA-4 will primarily feature 10W-30 oils. In addition, because lower HTHS numbers are linked with improved fuel economy, the minimum HTHS for FA-4 is lower (2.9) than the minimum HTHS for CK-4 (3.5).

• Designed for certain 2017 and newer diesel engines

• Not backward-compatible

• Designed to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions

• Primarily features 10W-30 viscosity grade

AMSOIL Prepared for Change

AMSOIL customers can be well-assured that we will be ready for the implementation of the new diesel specifications with top-performing synthetic formulations.

New Test Requirements

In order to meet federal regulations, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are relying on engine designs that produce ever-increasing operating temperatures. The new API CK-4 and FA-4 specifications introduce new shear-stability requirements to minimize viscosity loss, as well as two new and updated tests to ensure additional protection benefits in the areas of oxidative stability and aeration resistance:

New Mack T13 Test

Measures oil oxidation under the higher temperatures common with modern engines.

New CAT Aeration Test

Replaces the Engine Oil Aeration Test (EOAT), which used hardware that isn’t available anymore
The rest of the tests carry over from API CJ-4.

AMSOIL 5W-30 Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil

Leading the Field in Deposit Protection

Testing proves AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil provides more complete protection against damaging deposits than its competitors.

The push toward smaller, fuel-efficient yet powerful engines has driven the development of several key technologies. Gasoline direct injection (GDI) and turbochargers are now common features of passenger cars and light trucks. By 2020, industry experts predict that nearly every new vehicle will feature GDI technology, and the vast majority will be turbocharged. While these advanced technologies enhance performance, they also present serious challenges to motor oil.

The Turbocharger Trade-Off

Turbochargers push more air into the engine’s combustion chamber, providing better fuel-economy and performance but also creating intense engine temperatures. They often operate above 150,000 rpm on exhaust gases exceeding 1000°F. These extreme conditions cause some motor oils to break down and solidify into harmful deposits.

Vehicle manufacturers have long recommended different service intervals based on “normal” or “severe” driving conditions. Turbocharged vehicles are automatically included in the severe service category due to the extreme heat they generate. Motor oil with unique properties is required to combat the effects of intense temperatures.

Proof of Protection

AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil was tested against two competing brands to determine its level of protection against deposit formation in high-heat applications.

The TEOST 33C test (ASTM D6335) is an industry-standard bench test that simulates turbocharger operating conditions. According to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), it is “designed to predict the high temperature deposit forming tendencies of an engine oil.” To meet the API SN Resource Conserving and ILSAC GF-5 motor oil specifications that are often recommended by vehicle manufacturers, a 5W-30 motor oil must limit total deposit formation to 30 mg or less.

AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil held the total weight of deposits to 7 mg, well under the 30 mg limit required by the API and ILSAC, while Royal Purple® API 5W-30 and Mobil1® Extended Performance 5W-30 came in just under the limit at 25.4 mg and 28.2 mg respectively. Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil protects against harmful deposits on turbochargers 4X better than Mobil1® Extended Performance and 3.6X better than Royal Purple® in industry-standard testing*.

*Based on independent, third-party testing of AMSOIL® Signature Series 5W-30, Mobil1® Extended Performance 5W-30 and Royal Purple® API 5W-30 in the ASTM D6335 bench test required by the API SN Resource Conserving specification.

Test results represent the formulations available as of April 2016. Formulations were coded to eliminate bias during testing and samples were tested in random order. An appropriate number of trials of each oil were run to produce results at or above the 95 percent confidence level when compared to AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil.
